@[email protected] It is utterly miraculous that we didn’t all blow everything up.
@[email protected] we came so close during Able Archer in 83 (I think!) and were only saved by a very brave Soviet man who refused to believe that the traces he was seeing were real.
I know you know this, but by crikey we were literal seconds from nuclear Armageddon and one man’s intransigence pretty much saved the entire world as we knew it.
Like I said, what a mad time that was!
